Welcome to Litsy!

Pour moi, la lecture passe la plupart du temps par un moment de détente confortable, et ça ne peut se faire sans la jetée douillette et chaude qui m'accompagne depuis plus de 15 ans. Ajoutez à cela un décor ambiant ponctué d'accessoires immersifs visant à émuler le passé, et le salon se présente alors comme la meilleure alternative pour lire “Le Médecin d'Ispahan“!

Yes it was an epic masterpiece but it was also just a bit too much. There is only so much cruelty I can take with the racism, classism, feudal systems of oppression, religious oppression, treatment of women, and the brutality of the Inquisition. It‘s an amazing read but I was racing just to get it over with.
How is your read?

Two young English women embark on an adventure to #NewZealand in the late 19th century to marry unknown men. Both surprised by their partners, who turn out to be bitter enemies. Yet the women find a way to stay in touch and we follow their lives, that of their children, as well as orphan girls sent on the same boat to work in this strange place on the edge of the world, with the ever mysterious Māori playing an important part of the plot. ⬇️

I‘m not fond of the narrator so I‘m not sure whether I‘ll make it through the book. But I‘ve started this audiobook for #NewZealand for #foodandlit and #readingoceania

Como tal es una buena historia basada en hechos reales. Pero el libro es mayormente aburrido y pienso que necesitaba ser mucho más editado antes de publicarlo. No se niega que aprendí muchas cosas de WW2 que no conocía y en sí, la historia fue interesante. Un libro ideal para alguien interesado en historia y hechos reales. No es buena opción para un lector que prefiere romance.

Maurice Druon‘s novels have proven quite zippy for me, relatively speaking. Although I‘m reading them in my second language, they are quite short (250ish pages including historical notes) and the story moves quickly. I don‘t know much French history so I‘m learning a lot.
